Hopefully there are a few people in the list who you weren’t already aware of, and who can give you some fresh inspiration.

I’m sure I’ve probably missed plenty more people who are worthy of inclusion on the list, so feel free to let me know of any other amazing people who can help you quit your job and follow your dreams. If I like them, I’ll add them to the list!

Wow what a huge list. you must have put a lot of time into this. I love your realistic animal paintings. I read your bio and i know what you mean about not being artistic until recently. I used to be a web database analytics geek and corporate financier. Then i opened up my own online shop selling handmade sleeping masks in the Japanese kawaii genre. It was exhilarating. I still have my store at http://www.lenekonoir.com bit it’s closed while we are living in France becaue it’s too hard to sew when italy and spain and sites are to be seen.

I’ll be sure to check out all the new people on here whom i havn’t heard of. Good luck with your creative endeavors. Are you on etsy too?

I’m not sure how much business you have from your own site but i used to get the majority of my sales on etsy. or people found me on etsy and then bought from my website. My advice is to get on etsy asap. It will take you a couple of hours to fill out all the bios and setup the paypal stuff but it’s well worth it.

I can’t tell you how honored I am to be included in this list! These are some real heavy hitters when it comes to following your dreams, getting sh*t done, and living your best life. Plus, it’s lead me to YOUR blog, which is now on my subscription list. Looking forward to getting to know you more!

Thanks for the amazing list of resources! In my daily work I often promote many of these articles for the fans to read and enjoy!

I work for a company that specializes in helping its users find their dream job – it’s pretty amazing stuff! You can only imagine how all these articles fit in, when they motivate people to move onward and try their best to live a life they deserve – dream job included!
